I have just become the owner of a 2006 Ford Focus LX Mk2 1.8 TDCI, and I am thrilled I am not looking to spend too much money on this car, £1500 max, but hopefully not even that much. If anyone has any suggestions of mods they think could look nice, or any tips for the future mods I wish to do, please let me know in this thread.

So I fitted the new Osram Cool Blue Intense bulbs the other day and this is the before and after shots.

I think they look pretty nice. They give a lot better colour than the stock bulbs, however I am not sure whether the main beams throw out as much light as the stock. Could be that they are more precise? I am talking more about the spread of the light.

Looking back now, I should have probably taken a photo from the drivers seat of the before an after.

Nice car mate! I used to have a 2006 MK2 1.8TDCI. Brilliant car, and 45-50mpg! Unfortunately, had too many miles on the clock and needed alot of work!

I did a few mods, body coloured the plastics, st replica alloys, mk2.5 rear lights. rear tints, mk2.5 zetec seats (trust me will transform the interior), mk2.5 stereo. Could post up some pics if you want.

Thanks Yeah it does get pretty good MPG. That's a shame about yours :/ How many miles did it have when you bought it?Yeah that would be awesome if you could upload some photos, I'd be very interested in seeing them
